Donut Ingredients
Method
Donut Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 2
Shape the Donuts
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters to cut out donut shapes. Place the donuts on a floured tray.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Fry the Donuts
Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.

Fill the Donuts
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, use a piping bag to fill them with Nutella or dulce de leche.

Serve
Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
